Islam encourages science

Islam is the religion of raison d'être, intellect and principles. An individual identifies the fact declared by ALLAH by utilizing his intelligence, but derives results from the reality he has seen by going after his conscience. A person using the sense of his reason and conscience, upon probing the traits of any given entity in the universe, although he may not be a specialist in such subjects, would comprehend that it was formed by a holder of great Wisdom, Knowledge and Might.

The Books of ALLAH and the World

All the way through the Quran, heavenly revelation, and particularly the Quran itself, is called a "book" which is referred as ‘Kitab’ in Arabic.   On the other hand, this word should not be implicit as just an usual book. In medieval Arabic, the word kitab stood for any type of dictated communication, whether it was on paper or vocal.  The Quran refers to itself as Umm al-Kitab, "Mother of the Book" or "Sourcebook" (13:39).

“ALLAH effaces and establishes what HE wills, and with HIM is the source of all commandments.” [Quran 13:39] 

Teaching and Learning in the Quran

The ultimate source of knowledge for Muslims and for their moral conduct is from ALLAH through the Divine revelation ‘Quran’. In Islam, it is the principal source of learning and to take guidance. The Arabic word Quran is a vocal noun that holds the implication of a "constant reading," "recital," or message that is given an account or listened to over and over again. Therefore, the term may be explained into English as "recitation," "recital," or even "teaching".

Learning Quran an Integral part for a Muslim

A Muslim is a believer of the religion laid down by one and only God of the heavens and the earths i.e. ALLAH, through the final Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).  Literally the word Muslim means ‘one who submits’. Quran is the verbatim words of guidance and criterion from ALLAH to the whole of humanity. 

Allah says:

Divine code of Laws by ALLAH

Islam is a code of laws revealed by the one and only God of the heavens and the earth’s i.e. ALLAH, through His Messenger, Muhammad, for the direction of the whole of mankind.  This guidance, which can be considered as Permanent Values for humanity, is completely conserved in the Book of ALLAH, known as the Quran. Moreover, Islam vigorously and assertively advances the claim that if life is led in complete obedience with and in absolute subordination to the eternal Values, it will be rid of all the travails and difficulty in which the entire world of the present day finds itself weighed down accusing humanity to a hellish life regardless of the astonishing and overwhelming objects and scientific development.

Good or Evil, Who decides?

Every human with an intellectual reasoning, concludes that there is a Divine Power that is controlling everything in this universe. Even Atheists cannot defend their claim with any logical reasoning.

A man is born innocent with an independence to become good or bad. Man is gifted by intelligence and potentiality. If he develops them and utilizes them for the ethical and material improvement of mankind, his conduct is good; if he is unsuccessful to make the most of his enormous resources or puts them to uses which are destructive to mankind, his conduct is bad. Divine Guidance points out the way to self understanding and to the encouragement of knowledge and happiness.

Who will decide that conscience of a Person is right or wrong?

Man is a moral being, able to distinguish among right and wrong, and free to choose either. On the other hand, he finds that it is not simple to differentiate good from evil, nor is it easy to decide what is good, when it is known. In his own self there is no certain guide to the good. No moral sense leads him precisely to the right path. It is apparent that there are no unanimously accepted moral codes, for there are as many codes as cultural groups in the world. Each tribe or nation seems to have developed a code of its own, which is improper to others, or in some cases offensive to other groups. For example having a relationship before marriage is very normal in western societies while in eastern societies its offensive and strictly forbidden. 

Quran- A constitution for Humanity

Quran

The Divine book revealed to the final messenger of ALLAH is Quran. The confirmation provided by the Quran itself, as well as chronological research, proves that the original Quranic text has not been altered or is expected to be tainted in the future. This is an exclusive characteristic of the Quran and is not shared by the previous Divine books now extant.
